Hello to the group. I was stress shopping earlier this week on Craigslist and ran across a pair of DSP6000s conveniently located within 15 minutes of my home. The seller told me they were his buddy's and were left behind when the friend moved cross country. He doesn't seem to be too savy about them and I don't believe they are used all that much as he has another system he prefers. They listed the sale price at $3500 US.
I was familiar with the Meridian name but little else. I have been deep into the forum attempting to educate myself. Here is what I know;
- Serial numbers 201002/201003 making them 18 bit
- No 24/96 stickers
- Remote present
- Missing top glass on both units
- One head unit shows damage from being smacked above the tweeter and some minor crackling of the finish at the tweeter. No apparent damage to the tweeter.
My other observation was the master was labelled as left and the slave as right which located the gold stripes to the outside, opposite the gold stripes on the head units. From what I have read, each speaker can be configured as master or slave. I just found it odd the stickers on the back locate the gold lines opposite the head units.
I don't have a means to test them other than basic listening. I didn't think to take any CD's along and the seller had nothing I was familiar with.
I am a little vague on the limitations of the 18 bit units. The seller had a CD player as a source. Could I stream an on-line service like Pandora, Spotify, or stream through Apple TV?
What happens when the units see a higher resolution signal?
Would you suggest they be re-capped right off? Tweeter replacement? I see a fair number of posts on those topics.
As far as value, from what I can determine, these units are worth maybe $1000-$1250?
If you read this far, thank you!
Any input is appreciated,
SF
